The Obesification of America
I'm afraid the sad reality is that America is getting fat
You just have to look around and see the truth of that
On a daily basis it's said we're all eating way to much
And the concept of exercise finds us completely out of touch
Our children hardly go outside to run around and play
Instead we find them watching TV a good part of the day
Food comes frozen, processed or in a package of some kind
If you read the ingredients it will surely blow your mind
Americans choose Mickey D's for a burger kind of lunch
We should be eating veggies or something with a crunch
My Doctor lectured me on the size of my expanding butt
But I'm sure I caught him trying hard to hold in his own gut
So the next time your talking about how we're doing as a nation
Perhaps you could work "obesification" into the conversation........
